About Urban Krav Maga
Urban Krav Maga was created in London by Clive Elliott together with personal protection experts and bouncers. The system adapts traditional Krav Maga for the specifics of modern European cities - it focuses on defense in confined spaces (bars, cars, elevators), defense against multiple attackers and weapons regardless of the weight category of the defender.
